RAW sockets were introduced with Windows 2K and are only usable by
Administrator accounts. I don't think they're trying to remove them.

It's not the article but some interisting demo code, including a
logger.
Thanks, just pulled the January 2004 issue of the magazine off the
shelf and shall have a read of it.
The IP packet logger does seem to be exactly what I need. Had to fix
one line to allow for an empty packet, but it's now scrolling TCP/IP
packets onto my screen. It's really quite surprising how much crap is
flowing around my network, in particular a Netgear router broadcasting
UPD packets every second <g>
Only slight worry is I thought Microsoft was trying to stop raw sockets
being used, but this is still running OK under the latest XP patches.
